Human posture recognition provides a dynamic field that has produced many methods. Using fuzzy subsets based data fusion methods to aggregate the results given by different types of recognition processes is a convenient way to improve…

Information Fusion Systems are now widely used in different fusion contexts, like scientific processing, sensor networks, video and image processing. One of the current trends in this area is to cope with distributed systems. In this…

If the main use of colour measurement is the metrology, it is now possible to find industrial control applications which uses this information. Using colour in process control leads to specific problems where human perception has to be…

This paper presents a modeling of intelligent sensors based on a representation of the sensor by services it uses or it proposes, and by its USer Operating Modes (USOMs). This modeling is used for the definition of the reactive layer of…

This paper presents the design and the implementation of an interface software component between OLE for Process Control (OPC) formatted data and the Global Sensor Network (GSN) framework for management of data from sensors. This interface,…

This paper deals with sensors which compute and report linguistic assessments of their values.Such sensors, called symbolic sensors are a natural extension of smart ones when working with control systems which use artificial intelligence…

This paper introduces the concept of symbolic sensor as an extension of the smart sensor one. Then, the links between the physical world and the symbolic one are introduced. The creation of symbols is proposed within the frame of the…
